Jane Austen is one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her authorial genius becomes evident in her well-known work “Pride and Prejudice”. First published in 1813, the novel features the tale of Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters, who are struggling to find the elusive path to love and financial security in early 1800s England. The novel exposes Austen as a brilliant storyteller whose humorous and witty prose relates to modernity, although written hundreds of years ago.
